Category 3 Documents

Category 3 documents are non-mandatory guidance or subsidiary operational documents to the REC. These are documents developed and maintained by either the Code Manager, a REC Committee or a REC Service Provider. Category 3 documents are defined in the REC Baseline Statement.

Changes to Category 3 documents are progressed under the Category 3 Change Process. These documents should not have any material impacts on REC Parties or stakeholders, therefore do not require progression through the full formal change process.
